odd wave
#

im a bit confused on how to proceed with 14 to 16 like
i think tis geometric series but im a bit confused idk

odd wave
#

whats that

loud seal
#

check if the sequence converges to 0 first

#

necessary condition for convergence of series

odd wave
#

like do the test?

loud seal
#

yes

odd wave
#

ok

loud seal
#

k(k+2)/(k+3)² does this go to 0?

odd wave
#

it does to 1

#

goes*

#

means its convergent right

loud seal
#

this means the series doesn't converge

#

for a series to converge it's necessary that its sequence converges to 0

odd wave
#

ooohh yeah yeah

#

ok so its divergent

#

ok thank u so much

loud seal
#

Same wirh 15

odd wave
#

yes 15 i managed

#

now im doing 16

loud seal
#

16 years in prison

odd wave
#

the test is going nowhere since i need to do hr and it keeps giving infinity over inifinity

loud seal
#

yea

#

3^n is faster than 2^n

#

so it's also not a null sequence

odd wave
#

what do these both sentence mean

loud seal
#

The limit

#

Of

#

(1+3^n)/2^n is not 0

#

Because the infinity in the nunerator is faster and thus bigger than in the denominator

#

So the seq. diverges

#

and the series does too

odd wave
#

how do u know one is faster like what is faster

#

it reaches a certain numebr faster for example?

loud seal
#

3^n is faster than 2^n

#

because 3 is bigger base than 2

odd wave
#

ok i see

#

but then how do u know its not 0

#

i tried evaluating the limit

#

i kept getting infinity over infininty

loud seal
#

factor 3^n

odd wave
#

how

loud seal
#

Try

odd wave
#

333... n times...?

loud seal
#

No

#

1/3^n + 1

odd wave
#

hoowww

loud seal
#

now evaluate the limit it's obv

odd wave
#

oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

its inifinity right

#

wow ok i see then

#

thank u so much

loud seal
#

yooo

loud seal
#

This is simply how factorization works

odd wave
#

ok thank u sooo much!!!!!!

loud seal
#

1+3^n i pull out 3^n(...) i need to divide by 3^n in (...) to make up for it

odd wave
#

ok perfect i see thankss

#

im also struggling with this one could u help if you dont mind

#

and for 23 and 24 i would have said both diverge because there is not like a fixed continuity but 24 converges and im confused why and idk if my reasoning is good

loud seal
#

and use the formula

#

also you need an index shift

tired heronBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

loud seal
#

and it converges
